[Serious] What's the creepiest story you've ever read/heard, true or not?

I posted this in another thread but only maybe 3 people saw it. So here goes.

Okay, so it was summertime a few years ago, and I liked going outside and laying on my trampoline and stargazing at night. It was probably around midnight when I went out this particular night, and the moment I stepped outside, I got this really creepy feeling. I hesitated for a bit, because when I get this feeling, weird things have always happened, but I ignored it and got on the trampoline anyway.

I lay there for a bit, just looking at the stars and suddenly the trampoline springs creaked like someone just got on, but I was laying still, so I sat up and looked around, and no one was there. It was weird. So I waited and listened and looked around, but never saw anything, when I heard a voice whisper in my ear "Geoffrey...". I instinctively swiped at my ear and hurriedly got off the trampoline, then sat a few feet away on the grass, looking around to see if one of my brothers was trying to scare me somehow. No sooner than I did this, I heard a noise like someone climbing off the trampoline after me but NOTHING. WAS. THERE. I was freaking out, but I just stayed still and waited for something else to happen.

At this point, I pulled out my phone and called my friend to talk for a bit to calm me down, because I wanted to see if something else happened, but didn't want to be "alone".

So we were talking for a bit and i told him what was happening. Then my phone dropped the call. I had zero signal, which had never happened before. I heard what sounded like heavy breathing and deep growling in my ear coming from the phone, and the hair on my neck stood on end. I turned around and saw a large cloud of what looked like thick, black smoke behind me.

I ran into my house and never looked back. To this day, I don't go into my parent's backyard alone at night.
